Speaking about their upcoming storyline, Julia told Woman’s Own: “For the first time she’s part of a community so she won’t want to spoil that. Is it kinder to tell him?”

Last month the actress admitted life was going to get a lot worse for her character as it was revealed she is the ex-girlfriend of evil Nathan Curtis – who is grooming Bethany Platt.

Speaking about Clayton, who Shona gave birth to when she was 13 while in an abusive relationship, Julia said: “Their relationship is very fractured, it could get a hell of a lot worse.”
In a shocking twist in scenes that are yet to air, Shona gets brutally attacked by two thugs and left for dead.
